For eight years, Donald Trump has managed to secure the support of many evangelical and conservative Christians despite behavior that has often seemed at odds with teachings espoused by Christ in the Gospels
“No president has ever fought for Christians as hard as I have,” he told the Faith & Freedom gala in Washington in June."I’ll fight hard until I’m back behind that desk in the Oval Office.
“He sees every opponent as someone to be shouted down or roughed up,” Daly wrote. “He is not a peacemaker.” And some rural, white Christians “feel like nobody speaks for them,” Daly added. “They think, ’Here’s Donald Trump. He’ll be our champion' … It has nothing to do with being Christian. It’s the politics of grievance.”
In Iowa, where evangelical support is crucial in the caucuses that launch the GOP nomination process, Trump seems far better positioned than in 2016.in March found that he was viewed favorably by 58% of evangelicals, compared to 19% ahead of the 2016 caucuses. The Rev. Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, backed Trump in 2020 but said recently on his radio show that he’s now had enough.
Trump was raised as a Presbyterian, but told Religion News Service in 2020 that he had shifted to identifying as a nondenominational Christian. He has not claimed membership in any particular congregation, and during his presidency he attended worship services infrequently.
